Efficient Houses 



wm 



Our long experience in greenhouse construction enables us to give the best in 

 service, material and workmanship, and the purchaser of ICKES-BRAUN con- 

 struction can invest without a doubt as to the efficiency of his houses. Each detail is 

 perfected and approved— there is no experimenting with your money. 



Our new "LEAK-PROOF" gutter continues to prove its superiority. In a new range of 

 houses recently erected, for which we furnished 11 runs 200 feet long, there was not one 

 single leak noticeable during a downpour which filled the gutter to overflowing. Have you 

 anything similar to show?

Profits in the greenhouse business are larger 

 than ever. What does it niatlor if the original 

 investnisnt is a trifle greater'.'' IVs the per- 

 centage of profit that counts after all. 



Before the advance, we contracted for a big 

 supply of Louisiana Red Cypress lumber. We 

 are therefore still in a position to make you 

 exceedingly attractive prices on strictly guar- 

 anteed greeniiouse work. Write immediately
